Help shape the qualification & units for window furnishings & shade sails

A review of the Certificate III in Blinds, Awnings, Security Screens, and Grilles, and relevant units of competency, is underway to improve their flexibility and relevance to skill needs in today’s workplaces. The sector’s diverse range of fabrics, fittings and fixtures has contributed to a high level of complexity within manufacturing and installation occupations. The long-term success of businesses and the broader industry requires the ability to access appropriately skilled workers.

A Technical Committee of relevant experts has been established and is working closely with the project team to review and update the qualification and units. They are also advising on the development of new units and the creation of a security screen installer skill set.

In-person and online workshops are planned for July to coincide with the release of draft documents for broad stakeholder feedback. These sessions will provide further information about the work underway and outline how you can contribute to the updated draft qualifications and units of competency.
